Atheist Weeps For Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is a deep, profound mystery....

...that a 7 year-old could solve.

"If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things." - Rene Descartes.

At 7, I started crying uncontrollably at the Pentecostal church my mother (RIP) took me to. I almost never had crying fits. We had to go to the lobby. Later that night, my mother told my father that I must have been moved by the spirit. I replied that I had not been joyed, but was sad and frustrated...I couldn't put it into words at the time or understand in full concept, but that was the day it hit me that what the bible said, the preacher preached, what the people were doing was all fake.

Jesus is presented as significantly more important then a sporting event.

That warrants significantly more speculation.

Emotions are not a gift from God, they are the conduit for the delusions of any god at all.

The thing moving your heart is not the creator of the universe, or the origin of life.

It is the need to believe, a hope to escape death, and the wish for an immortal parent.

It is a manipulation.

... turn the sound off, just once, just for a few moments. Think about it.

@88momart His point seems to be that stopping the medium itself stopped the Spirit. If the Spirit was really operating on wavelengths separate from the television, then the muting shouldn't have done a thing.

No one typically believes that a sporting event, or a bird can be experienced as a spirit in the mind, so your analogy is severely handicapped.

Cried in laughter I mean, excellent video.

I cried when I saw this.

Thank you Phil, I needed this.

Darwin never discussed psychology he was a biologist, so there is no darwinian explanation for every emotion. However you could say there is a evolutionary, biological or chemical explanation for every emotion. Darwinian, Evolutionist, and other such words are machinations of the feeble minds of creationists.

@88momart

Or, they are naturally evolved methods we use to interact and survive with and in our environment. There's a darwinian explanation for every emotion. For example love is controlled by the same set of functions that make up our reproductive system.

Our universe appears exactly as it would if a god didn't exist.

[88momart]

So is this a policy you have adopted for living your life? When you watch sporting events, do you block out the sound, lest you be carried by the emotion? When you hear a bird singing a beautiful song, are you quick to blot out the sound, so you won't be vulnerable to what may be moving in your heart? There is much truth in what you said, however, emotions are one of God's gifts to us.

Good vid. It's neurology, anatomy, consciousness, and whatever else all rolled together. I visited that state of mind many times as a christian. Throw in the fear of death for some, lives of pain, misery, and desperation for others, and luck, happiness, or whatever for the others. It was a horrific accident and fear of death, as a child, that drove me. I can still remember confirmation talks with my pastor. I knew the bible pretty well even then, but it only said what I wanted it to.

I'll admit that I've had a similar experience. I was very young. I asked, "Why do other people from other religions burn in hell for believing someone else? Since, like, they were raised and always around THEIR god, how could they know or even possibly THINK that mine was right? Isn't God all-knowing? Won't he UNDERSTAND that they weren't trying to deny him but never had a chance to KNOW him?" I was told there was no such forgiveness. Then, I started to open my ears to everything.
